Bonus tip - iSloep
SponsoredGet to the restaurants in style – in a modern sloop
Isloep is a Dutch boat company that builds modern interpretations of sloops (image 1) and tender boats (images 2–3). These are boats designed with socialising at their core. If you opt for a motor that isn't too large, the 0.2 promille alcohol limit doesn't apply, which has been appreciated by many customers. Isloep was started in 2006 and since 2015 there has been a Swedish general agent called Stockholm Boats AB.
